  • Oriental, NC Lighted Christmas Flotilla

    The Spirit of Christmas Flotilla will be held on Friday night December 13th unless the weather is bad. We invite kayaks, paddleboards, dinghies and canoes to the event. Please do not use motors or sails. Many, meet at the Oriental Wildlife ramp (100 Midyette Street Oriental NC 28571) at a time to facilitate being in the water at 4:45. For safety, please wear life vests and carry whistles (a white light is also required but I think Christmas lights will qualify). It’s a short paddle, but much of it (especially returning) is in the dark. Battery operated Christmas lights work well for decoration. https://www.facebook.com/events/898923955677278/
